Summer Newsletter – May 2012
Forthcoming events:
The Futurity Young Stock Day and barbeque being organised for the summer by Mandy Luesley has been postponed until next year. This is due to the sale of many of the current young stock that could be seen and evaluated this year. Mandy believes that next summer will be a more valuable and beneficial time for all interested parties as there will be a greater number of “new” and quality young stock available for viewing and evaluation purposes.
Mandy Luesley would like to remind all F and I members of the forthcoming training with Judy Harvey on Monday 21st May – there are still some places left so please contact Mandy directly on 0208 529 5012 or 07941 116498 or contact by email: mjluesley@sky.com
